At this moment in Xujiazhuang, the housekeeper was a little uneasy. It had been several hours since Tianquan left the house. Since the other party did not come back, Ba Cheng had already fallen into his trap.
The scheme devised by the housekeeper is half true and half false. The fake one is naturally the so-called "Miss Xu family", but the real one is the people he hired to be responsible for "acting".
The thieves who kidnapped good girls were indeed real. The reason why these people were able to operate under the eyes of Xujiazhuang was thanks to the secret help of the housekeeper.
As the butler of the dignified "Thousand Cup Swordsman" Xu Manqing, there was no need for him to lower his status to do such a thing. Everything was helpless.
The housekeeper has a son, whom he has grown up with, and he has loved him very much since he was a child. This has led to him developing a character of being uneducated and idle every day.

By the time the butler tried to correct the opponent, it was already too late. His son also became addicted to gambling and lost all his years of savings in one breath.
When a creditor came to visit, the housekeeper had shamelessly asked Xu Manqing. In view of his hard work over the years, the other party paid off his gambling debt once, but at the same time he also warned him that there would be no next time.
The housekeeper naturally agreed repeatedly, but he didn't expect that in less than half a year, his son once again owed a large gambling debt. He wanted to repeat his old trick and cry in front of Xu Manqing, but this time the other party ignored him.
Xu Manqing is benevolent and righteous, but he also has his own principles in doing things. For a situation like the housekeeper, he will only help someone once. If he does it the next time, it will be his own death and he can't control it.
The housekeeper was completely helpless. In recent years, he had been borrowing money from various places in order to pay off his children's debts. He had already become a target for thousands of people, and now no one would lend him even a tael of silver.
The casino couldn't collect the money and had to sell his son to pay off the debt. When the housekeeper was desperate, a strange monk came to the door and lent him a large sum of money.
Rude Ganlin's butler did not have time to consider the reason why the other party did this, and from this moment on, his control fell completely into the hands of the monk.
There is no doubt that the other party is a demon. The housekeeper has personally seen the other party kill people without blinking an eye, and he himself has contact with such people. If things happen in the future, Xu Manqing will definitely clean up the family.
Therefore, for his own life and for the life of his children, the housekeeper had no choice but to secretly begin to obey these people's orders.
Fortunately, the other party never issued any instructions that would make things difficult for him. The housekeeper comforted himself, thinking that everything would be fine until he was buried. Who knew, this time the other party came up and arranged a big problem for him.
The plan to design Tianquan was designed by this group of monks, and the housekeeper was only responsible for executing it. He had been frightened since the first time he deceived the other party in the name of "Miss Xu Family".
There is no doubt that once this kind of thing is exposed, he will have no place in Xujiazhuang, and maybe Xu Manqing will kill him directly because of those demonic monks.
So since Tianquan left today, the housekeeper has never been at ease. He has even forgotten what Xu Manqing told him, and is spinning around outside the village like a headless fly, fearing that the other party will return safely.
But obviously luck was not on the housekeeper's side. He just came to whatever he was afraid of. Tianquan was back.
The terrible thing is that the other party not only came back, but also went to see Xu Manqing immediately.
In fact, Tianquan had some hesitation in his heart. He asked outsiders on the way back. The Xu family only had two sons and no young lady. Therefore, he was ambushed this time and he also doubted whether the entire Xujiazhuang was behind the scenes.
But in the end he was able to dispel his doubts. Firstly, Xu Manqing's reputation was outstanding, and Tianquan was willing to believe in the eyes of the world. Secondly, if the other party really participated in the ambush, he could have done it in Zhuangzi, so why bother doing it in the wilderness.
So Tianquan finally met Xu Manqing, told him directly about his experience, and asked the other party: "Xu Daxia, I am not rude, but the housekeeper of Guizhuang induced me in the name of 'Ms. Xu Family', I am afraid that he has something wrong. Please be careful."
Xu Manqing's face was ugly. At this time, the housekeeper waiting outside didn't care about etiquette. He rushed in and shouted injustice: "Master, I am wronged! I never said anything about Miss Xu's family, and I don't know about Mr. Qian." Why do you want to slander me?"
The housekeeper obviously wanted to wait until the end, but Xu Manqing also had his own considerations. First of all, Tianquan had been injured here, which he could tell at a glance. Secondly, the other party had just arrived in Xujiazhuang and had no grudges with them, so there was no reason to frame the housekeeper.
Xu Manqing was hesitating. Although he was very dissatisfied because the housekeeper was confused about the children's affairs, after all, he had served the Xu family for many years and he couldn't bear to doubt it.
But on the other hand, Tian Quan said that the fact that the other party was injured also proved that the housekeeper was involved in the matter.
At this moment, Tian Quan also took out his final trump card. He cupped his fists at Xu Manqing and said, "Xu Daxia, I had my own difficulties before. I didn't tell my true name. I hope you can bear with me. My surname is not Qian. Huh. ..... I have met Daxia Xu in Qingcheng Sect Tianquan."
The housekeeper and Xu Manqing were both shocked, and the latter said: "Tianquan? Could it be that you are the little sword in green who collected the corpses of many knights under the Hengshan faction?"
Tian Quan nodded, and then said: "In the package that Pindao carries, there is a token proving that the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect are out walking. If Master Xu has any doubts, he can send someone to get it for a look."
Xu Manqing looked Tianquan up and down, and then he was not polite to him. He immediately sent someone to get the package from the guest room, and Tianquan personally took out the token.
At this moment, Xu Manqing no longer had any doubts. The housekeeper slumped on the ground, his face bloodless. He never thought that Tianquan would be a high disciple of the Qingcheng Sect.
Now, even if the other party was really framing him, facing the rising power of the Qingcheng Sect, Xu Manqing had to investigate carefully, not to mention that he was indeed guilty.
Xu Manqing didn't miss the butler's lost expression. His heart sank immediately. The other party's performance was more convincing than anything else.
So Xu Manqing immediately sent people to the town to find the thieves and the beggar. After careful interrogation, he discovered that these two people were under the instructions of the housekeeper.
The evidence is conclusive. In addition to giving an explanation to the Qingcheng faction, Xu Manqing himself is also angry that Xujiazhuang has a clear name for the first time. How could such a rip-off and unclear thing come out?
"You - you are really... Alas, that's all. Since you are colluding with the devil and intending to murder Taoist Tianquan, you are abandoning the light and turning to darkness. I can't save you." Xu Manqing said at the end and gave a slight sigh. Sigh and look downcast.
The evidence was conclusive, and the steward knew that he could not refute it. Finally, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "It's the old slave Hutu, sir. This old slave has done such evil things. He has no shame in living in this world and can only wait for the next life." Let me repay my kindness again..."
Tianquan looked at it and couldn't bear it. He was really angry when he first learned that he had been deceived and fell into a trap, but now it seemed that the housekeeper had something to hide. He hesitated for a moment and decided to plead for the other party.
"Pindao knows that you are not responsible for this matter. Someone must have instigated the persecution. Please ask the housekeeper to tell the origin of the person behind the scenes...Pindao will not pursue innocent people." Tianquan solemnly promised.
When Xu Manqing heard this, he also glanced at Tianquan gratefully. The housekeeper cried with joy, feeling like he had survived a desperate situation.
But just when he was about to speak, a black shadow suddenly came over. Tianquan took a closer look and saw that it was a Zen staff. No one could react and could only watch as the iron staff stabbed the housekeeper. Wear it right.
